Whoa! What the hell was that?! I had been tracking a wolf, and when it came to the waterfall to drink, I attacked. But instead of satiating my thirst with the wolf's blood, the wolf transformed into a woman. Man, that woman was gorgeous! With her long black hair, almond shaped eyes, and luscious mouth (not to mention her sexy body) it took all of my self-restraint not to rip her throat out. It had been 3 years since I had last killed a human, and I would hate myself for all eternity if I had killed this particular human. I found myself wanting this woman. In the few seconds that she was with me, I knew that I had never wanted or desired anything more in my entire life.

So, why was I sitting here like an idiot instead of giving chase? She couldn't have gone far. Ha! As if she could out run me! Besides, she was naked, so I didn't think she would be going into town anytime soon.

I quickly got to my feet and chased after her. I could still smell her scent in the air. Hopefully she didn't transform into a wolf by the time I reached her. There were things I wanted from her that she couldn't give me if she were a wolf. Although thoughts of me capturing her, kissing her, ravishing her assailed my mind, what I really wanted from her were answers.

The last time I was in Forks, I was searching for Victoria. Instead I came across another vampire named Jaspar. I came across him while he was hunting with his mate, Alice. At first he attacked me. He was intent on killing me, however, I was not easy to kill. Alice came between us and told Jaspar to leave me alone. We talked. I told them that Victoria created me, and at the sound of her name, I thought I would have to fight off both Jaspar and Alice. Luckily, Alice seemed to get a hold of herself, and she placed herself between me and Jaspar. I told them about the human I killed. Told them about my guilt and remorse. They told me about how they lived. About just surviving on animal's blood. They also told me about another coven in Alaska that lived the same way. They suggested I go there since their coven was in the middle of some kind of war. I agreed, and left for Alaska.

My time with the Denalis was very educational, and being surrounded by beautiful females was definitely a plus. I learned that Jaspar and Alice were part of the Cullen coven. The Cullen coven consisted of Carlisle, Esme, Edward, Bella, Renesmee, Rosalie, Emmett, Jaspar, and Alice. The Denalis were like cousins to the Cullens, and I assumed that was the reason for their similar eating habits. Not that I minded. After killing the human man, I vowed I would never kill another human being again. Tanya found this amusing. She told me she had never met a newborn who actually felt remorse. In fact, she said I must be an anomaly since I was able to adapt so easily to my new life. Apparently newborns were supposed to be crazed killing machines.

Oh, Tanya. It made me sad to think of her. We were almost inseparable the moment I arrived on their doorstep. Naturally I found her beautiful. I knew she found me attractive. Our relationship was not what you would call a love match. From the beginning, our relationship was purely physical. We both knew that we weren't in love. I knew she had an unrequited love for Edward. She tried to hide it because she also loved Bella, and knew that Edward and Bella were meant to be. I suppose she was hoping that she could transfer her feelings of love to me. However, when we were together, in the midst of passion, she would bite my shoulder and muffle Edward's name. I never took it personally, but I must admit that I was curious. I wanted to know more about the Cullen clan. So, with a fond farewell, I took off and went back to Forks.

Smiling to myself, I realized that my prey was hiding nearby. I stopped running when her scent seemed to have disappeared, but it only took me a few seconds to realize that the scent didn't disappear exactly. It just shifted upwards. I looked up into the trees, trying to locate her.

"Come on out. I'm not going to hurt you."

"Please just leave me alone!"

I quickly turned towards the sound of her voice. She was hiding, way up in the tree that had the most foliage. I grinned at her attempts to hide her nudity from my gaze. She really did have the sexiest body I had ever seen.

"You can't hide up there forever! What's your name?"

By the look of her expression, I knew she was becoming angry. "Listen bloodsucker, we are not going to be friends, so there's no point in telling you my name. Just leave!"

My grin became wider, and I held up my hands in surrender, as I tried not to laugh. She reminded me of an angry kitten. Or maybe I should say an angry puppy, since apparently she could turn into a wolf. The Denalis never did mention anything like that while I was with them.

"Are you going to get out of that tree?"

"No!"

"Then I guess I'm going to have to force you" I said as I jumped onto the branch she was standing on.

I heard her scream as I grabbed her by the waist, and nimbly jumped down from the tree. She was furious, but she didn't try to fight me off. I found this encouraging, so I set her on her feet, however, as soon as I let go of her waist she sprinted off again. I sighed at her foolish attempt to escape me, and tackled her to the ground. I grabbed both of her hands and pulled her arms above her head for the second time that day.

"We seem to keep meeting like this" I said as I smiled down at her.

"Let me go!" She screamed up at me, and wriggled her body to try to buck me off of her.

"Now, now. Calm down. I'm not going to hurt you, but if you keep moving her body like that, we're going to end up doing something I'd rather save until after I know your name." To prove my point, I ground my hips against her, and she became suddenly still.

"That's a good girl. Now, where were we? My name is Jensen. What's your name?" I asked, with my most charming smile.

For a minute, I didn't think she would answer me. The only sounds I could hear were her harsh, panting breaths. I thought I detected a pattern in her breathing that could be arousal, but I decided that it was just wishful thinking on my part. She continued to study my face, and it looked like she was dazed and confused. Was she as attracted to me as I was to her? Could her hostility from a moment ago be an act? I hoped so. It wouldn't say too much of my character if I had to forcibly seduce her in order to have her.

"My name is Leah" she whispered as she closed her eyes.
